Dodgers Defeat Mets to Win NL Championship

The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the National League Championship Series (NLCS) with a 10-5 victory over the New York Mets, marking their 25th NL pennant and first since 2020. The Dodgers' manager, Dave Roberts, credited the team's resilience amid significant injuries, including to key players like Freddie Freeman. Tommy Edman was named series MVP with 11 RBIs, while the team utilized a strategic bullpen approach that contributed to a 2.57 ERA throughout the NLCS.
